• Communication
• Feedback/Feedforward
• Support and encouragement

Communication is the sending and receiving or exchanging of information by speaking, writing, or using come other medium such as body language between people

Effective communicator will use:

Communication is a two-way process that requires active listening and cooperation from both parties

Specific Examples of effective communication
